LANSDALE — Lansdale Catholic was more than happy to go 'Back to the Future' on Saturday afternoon at Crawford Stadium.

After winning its season opener against High School of the Future, the Crusaders had dropped their next two games.

However, taking advantage of some Conwell-Egan turnovers, they triumphed 21-14.

It was the Philadelphia Catholic League Blue Division opener for both teams. The Crusaders were not coming with much momentum after two straight losses, but they appeared undaunted, even after falling behind 7-0.

The Eagles, meanwhile, had a dominant 38-0 win over Chichester two weeks ago, but did not have a game last weekend.

Conwell-Egan got off to a quick start to take a 7-0 lead in the first quarter, but the Crusaders came on to score 21 unanswered points in the rest of the first half.

Braeden Smith caught a 15-yard touchdown reception to give the Crusaders a 14-7 lead. A 45-yard interception return by LC's James 'Junebug' Webb Jr. put it ahead 21-7 right before halftime.

Since it is the first league game for both teams, there is a lot of season to go and one win or loss does not guarantee anything.

What it means for Conwell-Egan:

While byes might be good for professional teams, having a week off did not turn out well for the Eagles. By the time they shook off the rust, it was too late.

What it means for Lansdale Catholic:

The Crusaders turned around a season that had not been going too well of late with a gritty effort. They stand tied for first in the PCL Blue Division.

Key plays:

On Egan's first play after the score, Webb intercepted the pass and ran 45 yards for a touchdown. LC held a 21-7 lead with two minutes left in the second quarter.

Conwell-Egan junior receiver Chris Toombs showed great concentration by catching a deflected pass in the end zone to cut the deficit to one score in the fourth quarter.
